Description

These murals are painted on plywood in orange and white, in the shape of two large t-shirts, and a central maple leaf shape. They feature a face with tears, eagles, an orca, and a thunderbird inside the maple leaf. They represent Orange Shirt Day, now known as National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, a movement to acknowledge the trauma and legacy of the Canadian Indian residential school system.
